stove at the Thomas James Hotel, and Mrs. Thomas James had Indian women help her. One little squaw came and washed all day for a dollar, rubbing the pieces on a board. She could do the flat work ironing too. Mrs. Bell James says when she ran the boarding house at Frisco she hired squaws to help her. They could wash and scrub and wash dishes. What they did, they did well, Mrs. James says. And when Mrs. James ran the boarding house at Lehman's Cave, about the only help she was able to get out there were squaws.
The Indians came also to Milford to work. Karl Levi had Indians help him put up hay. Fred Marietts worked for him a lot. Mrs. Levi told me Marietts was a clean Indian. She says he never could quite understand how Karl could write him out a check and he would take it to the bank and get money. One day as he was watching Mr. Levi write a check he said. "I wish I had money in the bank so I could write paper money and go to the bank and get me money." And he couldn't write at all. That was what made the remark seem funny. One day Mr. Levi, just for fun, gave him the wrong amount of money to see what he would do. Marietts looked at it and said, "Karl you cheata me." Mr. Levi say, "I thought you told me you couldn't figure." Marietts answered, "I can't figure, but you cheata me Karl."
Mrs. Tom Martin says she acted as an interpreter for the Indians from the time she was a little girl. She wrote letters for them and when they received letters they would have her interpret the letters for them. She also had a little squaw wash for her for several years.
Mrs. Bradfield says the Indians used to camp near the river. They often got drunk and became quite troublesome. She says she had a little squaw work for her sometimes when she lived across the tracks, who couldn't see well in the day but could see at night-moon-eyed. One night the Indians came drunk demanding this squaw. She wasn't there. The Indians became quite mean and frightened Mrs. Bradfield.
